Sewing Machines in Almaty?

My husband and I will be moving to Almaty in August. I am debating on trying to ship my sewing machine to Almaty (I don't really want to give it up) or buying a sewing machine in Almaty when I get there.

Does anyone know information on first, if you can buy sewing machines in Almaty, and second, what the price range for sewing machines is in Almaty.
